January 31, 2009 Snow and Ice

WEAKLEY HOLLOW FIRE ROAD FROM OLD RAG UPPER LOT
SATURDAY, January 31, 2009
Saturday, January 31, 2009 plenty of snow and ice on the fireroads and the trails. I was fighting a little bit of a virus so I only went up Fire Roads and Saddle Trail to just above CCC Stairs. Walked out in the dark under our headlamps with a very nice older couple who had done Old Rag many times but were caught off guard by how much the ice and snow slowed down their hike. When I arrived at 15:31 ten cars in the lower lot and 14 cars in the upper lot. When I left at around 20:00 both lots had about 4 cars. Hopefully they belonged to backcountry campers. Probably around 60 hikers on the mountain today.
